Sep 17, 2005

BOSTON, Mass. - Senior Brad
Wyman (Durham, N.H.) netted a pair of goals in his first
appearance of the season Saturday afternoon to lead the Plymouth
State University men's soccer team over the University of
Massachusetts Boston, 4-1, in the Little East Conference season
opener at the Clark Athletic Center.

Wyman, who missed PSU's first four games recovering from an
injury, tallied a pair of second-half goals to lead the Panthers.
PSU is now 4-0-1 overall and 1-0-0 in conference play, while the
Beacons fall to 4-1-0 overall and 0-1-0 in the LEC.

Plymouth State got on the board at the 19:46 mark of the first
half when junior Dustin Moya (Thornton, Col.)
found senior Chris Catatao (Burlington, Mass.),
who took advantage of UMass Boston's keeper coming out of the net,
and scored for a 1-0 edge. Sophomore Matt
Verrecchia (South Kingstown, R.I.) later lofted a cross
down the middle of the field to a streaking sophomore
Takeru Tanikawa (Shizuoka, Japan/Tilton Prep
(N.H.), who lifted a shot just over the reach of the Beacons'
goalie for a Panthers' 2-0 lead at 24:29 of the first half.

Wyman gave Plymouth State a 3-0 advantage when he converted a
cross from sophomore Jamal Luttamaguzi (Stockholm,
Sweden) just 3:31 into the second half, but UMB sophomore Romeo
Zeqo (Malden, Mass.) fed freshman forward Henry Marin (Haverhill,
Mass.) for a score in front of the net just 39 seconds later for
UMass Boston's only goal of the day.

Wyman capped the afternoon's scoring when he scored on freshman
Semir Mehmedovic's (Franklin, N.H.) centering
cross on a corner kick at 73:34 of the second half.
